Fit Review Friday! BeCalm Shrug with Updated Fabric, Athleta Journey Crop Pant, Airy Cotton Terry Shortie, Airy Cotton Terry Crew Sweatshirt
Happy Friday and Happy May! My parents are visiting this weekend. The last time they came down to Atlanta to visit me was back in 2016 when we first moved here. I guess I'll expect a visit every 10 years or when we move to another place. They basically want to check out the new house. 😂 Today I have a store try-on for you from Lululemon and Athleta.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. I also wear size PXS or XXS/XS in Athleta.
There wasn't much at Lululemon that interested me enough to try on except the BeCalm Shrug. The fabric actually feels super soft and cozy. I was kind of surprised at how much I liked it. I'm wearing size XS in the shrug and it's true to size. They do offer this in XXS, but I feel the length would be too short. The XS hits right at the top of the hips which I think looks flattering.
The sleeve length is always long, but as expected from Lululemon. Willow Leaf shade of green seems to be a very popular spring color. I like it, it's actually a very nice neutral. The shrug also comes in Pink Pearl and Light Ivory. My favorite is Willow Leaf. Price is $78 which I think is a bit high for such a small piece of clothing. If you are interested in this, I would wait for it to hit WMTM.
I'm glad the Athleta store had some Airy Cotton Terry and Journey items for me to try. Driftwood is a deep mauve with purple and brown undertones. It can really go either way. The color also varies depending on the fabric used. For the Airy Cotton line, the color is really beautiful. It's probably one of my favorite colors from Athleta. It's slightly lighter for the Journey line, with a hint of pink.
If you're one of those people that love a matching set, this would make a cute lounge outfit. The Airy Cotton Terry Sweatshirt is light to mid weight fabric and soft on the inside. I'm wearing size XXS and it's a perfect fit. If you prefer a looser fit, I would size up. For $79 I feel like this is a fair price. Even better with a 25% off sale that's currently happening.
The Airy Cotton Terry Shortie has a 3 inch inseam which I find to be the perfect length for petites. I'm wearing size XS and it's a very comfortable around the waist. I also like that it is mid-rise and hits right below my below button.
There's a very small side slit at the hem. These items made from 100% cotton, which is what I really love most about the Airy Cotton Terry collection. With the 25% off sale, I ended up taking this home with me. These will be great for summer and for lounging!
Last but not least we have the Journey Crop Pant also in Driftwood. As you can see, the color is lighter and also has a hint of pink with brown and purple. Still a very pretty color.
The Journey line is made out of Athleta's Featherlight Stretch fabric and it feels silky smooth and cool to the touch. These pants are lightweight and unlined. I'm wearing size XXS and the waist is just a pinch tight on me. The length hits at my ankle. I didn't find these to be flattering, so I left them behind.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Wish me luck with my parents. 😅
